For the sake of historical accuracy, let us recall that "the X's number 1 cheerleader" would not have been elected as Senator but for a certain aeronautical occurrence otherwise of benefit only to the birds of prey looking for carrion on the outskirts of Eveleth; and further, that, unless I am mistaken, the gentleman was outvoted in every single St. Paul precinct and elected only due to the outstate vote of those who knew him only as someone with very white teeth and a damn attractive bride.

Same goes for the Xcel Center in St. Paul, no one stormed the gates, heck St. Paul even re-elected the X's number 1 cheerleader as Mayor and the state as a whole voted elected him his Senator. So much for making politicians pay for providing public subsidy for a sports team (and the Wild have a sweet deal at the Xcel Center). Bottom line is that irregardless of the anti-stadium folks rants and raves, many, many people DO support a stadium, will hold their elected official accountable if a ballpark is NOT built, and care very deeply that Twins are a community resource that should be supported.
